A significant internal dispute has emerged within the Bar Council of India (BCI) as the organization's Co-Chairman has publicly called for the resignation of Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra. The demand, which stipulates a 15-day deadline for the Chairman to step down, is reportedly based on a list of eight specific allegations against his leadership. While the exact nature of these allegations has not been fully detailed in public reports, the move marks a serious escalation in the tensions surrounding the BCI's executive leadership.

This call for resignation does not occur in a vacuum; it follows the recent filing of a petition in the Supreme Court of India. The legal challenge specifically questions the legitimacy of Manan Kumar Mishra’s continued service as the BCI Chairman. The intersection of the internal administrative demand and the external judicial scrutiny suggests a coordinated effort to challenge the current BCI administration. As of now, the BCI leadership has not issued a comprehensive public response to the Co-Chairman’s ultimatum, nor has there been a formal statement regarding the specific allegations cited in the letter. The situation remains fluid as stakeholders within the legal community await further developments regarding the Chairman's response to the 15-day deadline.
